Without free will, we cannot choose to be good. It's a necessary evil.
Have you never seen someone be punished for something you knew they were going to do? Because I work with kids and let me tell you, they know they'll get punished and still do shit they ought not to.

The alternative would be nothingness, which has no capacity for goodness.
Or would you rather the world was not AS shit? But if He intervened, that would defeat the purpose of giving us free will and choice.

You won't enjoy a life where you have no choice. Have you heard of the Experience Machine thought experiment? A life of pure pleasure/good things will cease to feel good or pleasurable because to have "good" things you must have experience of "bad" things with which to compare them.

How do you know if something is good, if you have no comparison? If everything is the same, how do you know it's good? You need different experiences to compare and then judge what is "good" and what is "bad".
>>936462650
Someone, or you (who knows) said they disapproved of God making this world. I said the alternative was nothingness. I said that the problem with nothingness is that we then cannot have any goodness. To which I got the vague reply "under what premise is that not a possibility?" so I explained why "nothingness" cannot hold any good. That is what I am arguing.

I mean other guy came off entirely on the wrong foot, but he isnt wrong, and this isnt even a strange or uncommon concept.. all things are relative. Even Beavis and Butthead had an episode about this very universally understood old concept.. There has to be contrast. There is no good if you dont know what's bad. As a most basic example, next time you get a particularly bad cold just look how much to crave and long for just feeling ok, something you normally take for granted.
And it gets a lot more complex and nuanced than that.

Because 'good' in the antithesis of 'evil'. In a rather extreme example, if you had the exact same day every day, how could you judge it to be good? How do you know anything to be good at all? Because you know what is evil, or at least, "not good".
Perhaps you can give me an example of something "good" in your opinion and then explain to me WHY it is good without relating it to a "not good" experience. I.e. why is it "good" to save someone's life?
>>936462843
If that's what you think, then fair enough. Then there should be no existence at all.
>>936462840
I will just ask you to elaborate again. Using argumentation terms and naming fallacies does not make me magically understand your meaning.
>>936462876
>universe requires a god to create it, which you can't do
I suppose, but our own powers of reasoning cannot explain existence which suggests something greater than us is responsible for creation. Whether you consider that God or something else is another matter. If you want to argue that we just "haven't figured it out yet", then I won't argue against that, because I won't be able to change your mind.

the only thing you're pointing out is contrast, and being able to relatively compare how good something is
if you removed all bad things, the good things are still good, they don't suddenly become not good because you have nothing to compare them to, they are still beneficial regardless, they don't become neutral or bad in the absence of the bad things that were removed

So if someone was only allowed to watch the best movies and eat the best food we know, they wouldn't begin making comparisons, having preferences and deciding which of them are good among the others?
If everyone was incredibly healthy, would there not still be those who are more healthy and therefore better?

you can't just hand-waive that away, that something else could very well be natural processes of physics we don't yet know, but doesn't involve anything approaching something anyone would consider a god

Exactly. But it is possible for people to be harmed and not have their needs met. That is a lack of good, which can be used as a comparison to demonstrate what IS good.
Those things are good, you say, because people "want" them. People "wanting" them means it is possible not to have it.
In this way, "good" things are still a matter of comparison to other experiences.

We understand the world through cause and effect, which is logically unsound when it comes to the creation of the universe. We don't know the first "cause". Perhaps we will come to understand it one day, but it appears that it is contradictory to how all of our knowledge has been established.
>your inability to explain something doesn't suggest a god did it
The collective inability of humanity to explain something suggests something non-human can explain or justify it. It doesn't even have to be a God. Again I will grant that perhaps we simply haven't figured it out yet.
>that something else could very well be natural processes of physics we don't yet know
It could. I would argue that if we cannot understand it, there will be an existence that can. I can see that you believe we will figure it out eventually, and that's fine.
>I don't know, therefore god
I do not claim that. I have been focusing on talking about good and bad/why wouldn't God intervene/why has God put bad things in the world. It's not wishful thinking on my part to say there is a God. I have no interest in trying to convince you God exists. Not because I have no arguments, but because we clearly see the nature of God differently.
I don't mean this in a confrontational or argumentative way. I just don't see a point in discussing "is God real" here because it will not be a productive conversation.

Broadly speaking, "goodness" really just refers to what people want to happen. From a religious perspective, it's what God wants.
If there is existence, then there will be something that has SOME kind of want. Unless, I suppose, it's all just a bunch of rocks. I guess the point is that people want to experience good things, so generally we want existence to stick around.

do you know how many countless times throughout human history we didn't know how something worked and attributed it to gods, only to then figure it out and realize it was perfectly explainable? how many times does this need to happen before you think maybe it can be explained we just haven't gotten there yet?

but the entire line of reasoning depends on it, it changes everything
if there is a god dictating all of this, it means there is malicious intent
if there aren't any gods, then it's just an uncaring universe and there is no objective good or bad, just things that happen and we interpret it from our selfish perspective of wanting to avoid death and harm

by comparison maybe, but that doesn't somehow mean you are now harmed, or are going to die because someone else is doing slightly better

>how is it unsound only in this specific domain
If we understand everything by cause and effect, then what is the first cause? If nothing existed at the start, how could anything have come to be? Our current model of logic does not work with this problem.
>how many countless times throughout human history we didn't know how something worked and attributed it to gods
I grant that. As I said, our current model of understanding the world cannot explain this first cause and so perhaps if we discover some other way of understanding the world that does not rely on cause-effect we could explain it. I already said that. I simply don't believe that will happen.
>it certainly seems like you do
My belief in God is not based on me saying "lol idk". Unfortunately, life is more complex than that.
>the entire line of reasoning depends on it
No, because all I intend to discuss here is whether God should interevene in our lives or remove bad things for us.
>if there is a god dictating all of this, it means there is malicious intent
It will not be malicious. Bad things happen, yes, but without them there is no capacity for good. It is a necessary evil.
>if there aren't any gods, then it's just an uncaring universe and there is no objective good or bad
I might agree, but then one could argue that there are ways of measuring goodness in terms of unverisal wants (i.e. utalitarianism).

You said "scale" yourself. As in a measurement. As in there is such a thing as "not" positive.
Can you explain to me what positive is without mentioning negative?
>I don't sustain an injury
You are using an injury as an example because it is a possible example. If there was no such thing as injury, there would be a new "worst" experience and that might just be not being as fit and healthy as other people.
>both can be good
One will be "more" good than the other. People will have a preference for which they want to happen. The less desired one will cease to be "good", because no one will want it in favour of the better experience.

> If there was no such thing as injury, there would be a new "worst" experience and that might just be not being as fit and healthy as other people.
that doesn't equate to bad, that's the thing you keep getting hung up on
if you make $1M/yr and I make $900k/yr, I'm not doing bad because by comparison I'm making less, we're both doing well, there isn't only 1 single measure of good, and if no one hits that threshold, or if everyone isn't at the exact same level, that somehow translates to now bad
>One will be "more" good than the other.
so?
>People will have a preference for which they want to happen. The less desired one will cease to be "good", because no one will want it in favour of the better experience.
so are we now re-introducing that bad exists and not everything is good? you seem to be changing what the parameters are

>you can have a scale that's only positive
But to measure how positive something is, that suggests there can be a lack of positivity.
>I'm not doing bad because by comparison I'm making less, we're both doing well
You can only say you're both doing well because you are comparing to experience of making literally no money at all. You are still comparing these facts to other experiences. My point is is that if $900k/yr was the lowest income possible, that would become a "bad" income purely by comparison.
>so?
>re-introducing that bad exists and not everything is good
Not everything can be good. Good suggests a possibility of more than one outcome. The preferred outcome is "good". The not-preferred outcome is "bad", or at least "not good".
What is "good", in your opinion? Something that is beneficial? To benefit implies the possibility that you cannot benefit or there is something you may miss. An opposite.

It's not the role of God to make everything perfect and happy for us. Even if he made things better in some ways, we would then complain of the next "bad" thing until we demanded he fix everything. Thus defeating the point of our lives.

It's relative. Let's take a "more positive" example.
>World where no one gets sick or anything
>Almost everyone lives to at least 100 years old and manages to be healthy this whole time
>Someone dies at 95, everyone thinks this is a complete tragedy because 100 is the expected age to live to
But to us and our reality, that age of 95 is pretty reasonable. It doesn't have to be about cancer, the fact is is that we will have to compare our lives to others to gauge the quality of our own life, to some extent. We can't help it. It's not "mentally ill".

no, I can say I'm doing well because I have enough money to meet all of my needs, it doesn't matter if someone else makes more or less

no it wouldn't, that reasoning makes no sense, you don't seem to understand what good and bad even mean in this context. you seem to think bad means "less good" compared to something else, when that isn't the case

it can in this hypothetical where we said "if no bad exists" and everything is on the positive scale

there need not be a single good outcome, and there can be varying degrees of good, it's not all or nothing, and one thing being slightly less "good" than something else isn't now the opposite of good

Umm....note well that before Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge, they had no conception of good or bad - and hence would not yet understand that snakes are bad - and moreover would not have yet understood that not following God's instruction was bad.

And really: what kind of Godly "paradise" is it that includes dangerous snakes and poisonous fruit?

Or NOT. Meaning it is possible NOT to be positive. Can you define positivity without using negativity?
>because I have enough money to meet all of my needs
Meaning it is possible NOT to meet all of your needs.

Then explain what "good" and "bad" are.
>it can in this hypothetical where we said "if no bad exists" and everything is on the positive scale
"Bad" does not cease to exist because of a better quality of life. The metrics for what is considered "bad" will simply change.
>there need not be a single good outcome, and there can be varying degrees of good
There can be varying degrees of good, yes. But as I have said not EVERYTHING can be good.

Please tell me what you think "good" and "bad" mean. You clearly have a different idea and without knowing it, we won't get anywhere.

Because by my definitions, it's not possible. So please, present your own.
I say what "good" is what people "want" to happen universally. If people can "want" anything, that implies there is something they "don't want" to happen - that would be "bad". What about you?

You don't need to resort to stale attacks to fit in here. Just give me your definition so we can continue the discussion. You only think I don't understand what a hypothetical is because I didn't entertain in a way that agrees with your thinking.
So...give me your definition of good and bad and we can figure out why we're not understanding each other.

When I know a child is going to do something it shouldn't, I know it's because it lacks understanding of why it should not do that thing. Childs don't have the foresight adults have.
But even an adult would be challenged to see why eating some fruit would be evil if it is never explained to them.
And if such behaviour is a result of lacking intelligence, foresight or wisdom, then why didn't God equip us with stronger mental capabilities to figure things out? If you say "You aquire wisdom by experince and learning, it is something you get from growth, it cannot just be given to you" then you say that god is punishing a childlike mind for something they didn't have the opportunity of knowing better. From Adam and eve's perspektive, it could as well have been a coin toss wether to trust God or the snake. Had she choosen to not eat the fruit, it would have been the right decision made purely by accident, not by insight. That is why christian understanding of morality is so stupid.

You took the story way too literally, it seems.
The basic point is that we CHOOSE to have free will (ate the apple). In that, we are sent out from paradise (where we had no free will) and have to make good choices on our own. Because we now can distinguish between good and evil, we have the power in humanity to create good things and make good choices.
It's not about "lol you ate this fruit without knowing what would happen". It's "God, your provider and giver of life told you NOT to do this and you did it anyway. Here are the consequences of your actions".

Would you rather pay people to hang around you or have them choose to hang around you out of their own free will?
If you're honest in the slightest, you'd admit to want them to choose hanging around you out of their own free will.
That's the reason why free will was given. Love that is coerced is meaningless. If Eve chose to fuck up, that isn't God's fault. It is the snake and the woman's fault.

Hell was never outrightly mentioned in the bible until the English translation came around, which also only mentions satan and the false prophet to be the only ones to spend their eternity there. Besides, hell is mainly used as a threat by controlling actors in the faith to control other Christians as well as people who didn't take the time to understand what is meant or fish for gotchas.

>God is a complete faggot for even creating this shit world in the first place
First of all, you don't even know what planet you're on, so why should anyone take you seriously?

Bottom line: This planet is Bozrah, not Earth. Read this post...

https://x.com/elitefeat/status/1799553063390154856
============================
This planet is not Earth. It is Bozrah.

Earth is another planet about 75,000 light years from here, whereas this planet is merely an impostor planet that calls itself "Earth." Big difference. And trust me, I know how to count to 10 seconds, ACCURATELY. What used to be 10.00 seconds (for me) is now a whopping 15.00 seconds! If you don't believe me, see Matthew 24:22 and Revelation 8:12. For the natives, though, the speed of time here has always been the same.

If you are a Bozrah native, you are in serious trouble. The people of this planet must acknowledge that Bozrah is not Earth and that Jesus is coming to destroy it. Otherwise, don't expect God to save you.
============================

And for the sake of clarity, let me say this: The event in which Jesus destroys this planet is called "the day of vengeance." There will be no 7-year Tribulation or Antichrist hereโ€”because this planet isn't Earth. It's Bozrah.

Evil God and humans are its evil reflection

>In certain Gnostic interpretations, particularly in Sethian and Ophite systems, the Demiurge, often identified as Yaldabaoth, is portrayed as the creator of the material world and a flawed, malevolent entity. This Demiurge, considered separate from the true, transcendent God, is seen as envious of humanity and seeks to trap souls within the physical realm. According to these Gnostic views, Jesus, as a divine figure, came to reveal the truth about the flawed nature of the Demiurge's creation and to liberate souls from it. The Demiurge, perceiving this as a threat to his dominion, had Jesus crucified.
